About the Award

Vision: To create 100 Million changemakers in the world in the next 10 years.

The Global Sustainability Awards (GSA) is an international initiative recognizing outstanding contributions by all towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This is more than an award – it’s a global movement that connects and inspires changemakers. We have created a vibrant platform where schools, students, educators, colleges, startups, corporates, NGOs, and individuals working on sustainability can come together, collaborate, learn from each other, and enhance their own impact in the process.

Last 5 editions of GSA (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) saw participation from over 5,000 students, teachers, schools, NGOs & Startups from over 55 countries across the globe.

To strengthen its global impact, GSA is opening up regional chapters of the Awards in various countries.

In 2026, GSA will be hosted across three global chapters:

• Atlanta Chapter (USA)
• Dubai Chapter (UAE)
• Delhi Chapter (INDIA)

Each chapter reflects its regional priorities while remaining united by a shared global mission — to create 100 million changemakers globally.

With multiple chapters across the world, GSA envisions that local efforts are recognized on a global stage. Every community has its champions, and through GSA, their stories can be celebrated and shared to inspire others. By honouring both grassroot innovators and large-scale initiatives, we weave together a powerful network of people united by one goal – a sustainable future.
